Though a cup may appear simple and ordinary, it embodies life’s fullness, emptiness, brokenness, imperfections, and blessings. Its simplicity reminds us, that personal transformation and inner growth often take shape within the everyday moments that fill our lives.
Set in a peaceful, nurturing environment, this retreat will guide you in molding unique clay cups and learning to use them as tools for personal growth, self-awareness, and for deepening your connection to God’s presence and action in your daily life through prayer.
During this immersive weekend experience, you will hand-build three cups, each serving as a sacred symbol of your spiritual journey.
The three cups—the Cup of Gratitude, the Cup of Compassion, and the Cup of Blessing— will be crafted and meditated upon throughout the building process.
Over the course of two Saturdays, you will glaze and decorate your cups, then later receive your finished pieces. Guided meditations, rituals, and art journaling will support your reflections and creative expression along the way.
This retreat is open to everyone and invites you to slow down, reflect, and explore clay-building techniques. Discover how to integrate your handmade cups into your daily life. No prior experience with clay is needed.
